Not even the rains could ruin the lovely and wonderful baby shower that my relatives threw for me. I admit that I pressured my sister into organizing it for me but who can say no to a pregnant lady? 
I was a bit apprehensive at first if people would be going other than my relatives but those friends who did drop by seemed to have had as great a time as me.
The food was also entirely home-cooked as my relatives pitched in cooking their specialties. The only commercial dessert there was the mango torte from Dulcelin but that’s because it’s a favorite. We had lengua, empanadas, potata au gratin, baked macaroni and chicken lollipops. Dessert was chocolate cake by Ate Kris, chocolate flakes and chocolate bears by Mariel. I ate so much!
The picture above is me at around 30 weeks and that weird looking bulge is my maternity belt. I swear that maternity belt is a lifesaver supporting this heavy belly.
I got some wonderful loot from this baby shower like clothes, bottles, a newborn grooming kit, car seat/baby carrier and a MacLaren stroller! Of course Lloyd considered the stroller and car seat his loot since he’ll be the one in charge of them.
We also played some baby shower games. The balloon blowing game was new to me but we had to exempt the pregnant ladies. The trivia game was truly intriguing because there were some questions that even I didn’t have answers to at first!
Here’s a picture of me with the baby shower organizers: my sister and my two cousins. Thank you so much!
